Ravnica Resurgence: Magic the Gathering

One time, I had a friend over to play a bit of Red Alert on my LAN. During the game he said he needed to go to the bathroom, so we paused it. After about 10 minutes of wondering where the hell he went, I get up and go to check on him.

there's a 1 in 8 chance that the rare in your pack will be replaced by a mythic, and generally are 15 mythics per large set (first set in a block, and more recently the third as well in the case of Avacyn Restored and Rise of the Eldrazi) or 10 in a small set (second and third sets of a block, barring the aforementioned exceptions)

Wouldn't the angel be okay? After all they are copies, I thought copies of a card with legendary didn't break the rule, just additional cards.

205.4c Any permanent with the supertype “legendary” is subject to the state-based effect for legendary permanents, also called the "Legend rule" (see rule 704.5k).
704.5k If two or more legendary permanents with the same name are on the battlefield, all are put into their owners’ graveyards. This is called the “legend rule.” If only one of those permanents is legendary, this rule doesn’t apply.

So to clarify, the copy effect copies the entire card, including supertype.

Studying for the L1 test is like studying for the CPA exam, I swear to god.

copying takes on every characteristic of the card, I think, up to and including mana costs (for those few effects that care) and other copy effects (if you Clone a Clone that's already copying something, they both wind up copying the same thing)

creating a second copy of your opponent's legendary permanent just to destroy it isn't actually all that rare a tactic

I always thought I knew a good bit about rules interactions until I looked at some of what goes on those tests

there went all my pride

I've passed RA and we need more level 1s in my area, so I'm going to step up to the plate sometime before October (so I don't have an entirely new mess of interactions to learn). So far I have managed to pass 1 of 4 practice tests.

see after seeing some of those tests, I have a newfound respect for the sheer amount of edge cases judges have to know about, and all the little tiny quirks of the rule book you have to be able to recall

all these exile cards are going to make a karn liberated deck kinda brutal

I wonder how well it would do competitively

The amount of hard control/good counters we have available is so damn low. I've been trying to get UB or Esper control off the ground for months, with very limited success. Aggro is just so fucking consistent in this format. A Karn/exile deck in Esper might be doable, but I still can't see Mana Leak carrying it to victory.
